Hamilition’s. I would say Campbell’s simply because of the colorful wall she uses as her
backdrop; whereas, Hamilton incorporated movement as he walked down the ramp of
Banneker Community Center. This small change made the biggest difference as his
stood out along with Nayo Campbell’s colors.
10. I will form my question around a female that has deciede that voting for trump was better
then putting a woman into the office. To find my person I can attend meeting for the
Conservative womans meeting or just walk the streets of capitol hill. To obtain research
I can look at Cnn and Msnbc voting records for the trump election when it came to
female vote as well as old clips of him claiming how many female votes he had vs
Hillary.
Part B

1. Business manager and control manager. All have high degrees in accounting and
financial management as well as computer and data processing skills. They are
important because the maintain the station financial life.
2. To keep an accurate station log. The need to know when a show is going on, how long
the breaks are and when commercials are expected to air during the day
3. To insure the station is maximizing all traditional revenue in stations market
4. I think the hardest job is the stations manager. They are responsible for making sure
everything in the station looks and runs well. If something goes wrong, then have to
report to the general manager. The one that sounds the most interesting is the
executive producer. I like the fact that you’re in charge of a show and everything that
happens and making sure it runs as smooth as possible on a regular day as it would in a
crisis
5. Meaning know key facts within your station or news story or about any job so if
something does happen you have answers and you know how to problem solve quickly.
